We expect that most people will prefer to stay in Oslo, but we offer Ski and Drøbak as an option to save time and money for transport back and forth to NMBU. Use booking.com, hotelopia or hotell.no to find better deals, just make sure that the hotel in Oslo is close to either Oslo S / Jernbanetorget (Oslo Central Station) or Nationalteatret train station.
